At this time, everyone is red-eyed, and the steel knives are all curled up. With the power of the dragon, glory and wealth, as long as they take this step, they will reach the sky in one step!
In the Taiji Hall, all the ministers were sweating. Even the calmest officials could not help but prick up their ears to hear what was going on outside.
King Qi's five thousand soldiers advanced slowly, paying the price of blood for every step forward. If they defended for a long time, they would lose. Although the guards in the palace were also elite, due to the disadvantage of numbers, their defense line was still torn open.
As the sound of fighting gradually came to an end, corpses were lying everywhere, including the guardrails and steps, and the square was stained red with blood. The sacred and solemn place where the great Zhou Dynasty held a great meeting in the past has turned into a hell on earth.
The guards retreated step by step, and King Qi's soldiers pressed forward step by step. Gradually, they retreated from the steps to the front of the palace. There were more and more people around, and fewer and fewer of their comrades.
After more than half of their people were killed or injured, the fear of death overwhelm their desire for glory, wealth, fame and fortune. Finally, someone dropped their weapons and fell to their knees, "Long live King Qi!"
A loud shout was like thunder in the crowd, and like a Donomi effect, the guards around him also followed suit, dropping their weapons, falling to their knees, and shouting in unison, "Long live King Qi! "
At this time, King Qi stepped forward on his horse and ordered his soldiers to shout, "Whoever surrenders will not be killed!"
These four words were like the last reminder. Faced with the crisis of life and death and the betrayal of their colleagues, most people chose to bow their heads, lay down their weapons and surrender. Only a few die-hard loyalists of the prince were still fighting bloody battles and would rather die than surrender. .
Under the siege of the surrounding soldiers, they could only fall down with hatred.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Xian stood on the high platform, his face was stiff, his fists in his sleeves were clenched, his nails dug into his palms, and blood dripped from his fingers to the floor, but he seemed to have lost consciousness, and his eyesight was also lost. Lost its former glory.
All the fighting ends up in one voice, getting louder and louder from far to near.
Suddenly, the hearts of the ministers in the palace began to tremble uncontrollably. Some collapsed on the ground, unable to even speak, some fainted on the spot, and some turned pale and cursed the sky without eyes...
The King of Qi wins, the Prince loses, and all their ministers will be liquidated. At that time, not only will they die, but their families will be used as slaves, all their property will be confiscated, and everything they use in life will be lost. How can they bear the huge blow for a while?
"Huh~"
Li Xian let out a breath and calmed down. The matter has come to this, no matter what, even if he loses, he will still stand and lose. When he cast his eyes on His Highness and the ministers, his eyes were full of disdain.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the chaos of the country reveals the loyal ministers.
Now, less than 30% of the ministers are still standing in the hall, and the rest are ugly and no longer have their usual demeanor.
On the roof, Su Ming opened his Dharma Eyes and saw two dragons of luck, one red and one blue, lingering over the imperial capital. The two sides were fighting endlessly, but the blue dragon was below, and the situation was getting more and more critical.
After the death of Emperor Shenwu, the artifact had no owner and could no longer suppress the world's luck. Therefore, the luck dragons of King Qi and the Prince had successfully transformed into dragons. Although they only had four claws, they were the closest to that position.
Now, King Qi's luck is booming and he has overtaken the prince, but Su Ming is not in a hurry to take action. The prince must have more back-up plans. At this point, he will definitely make a desperate move, and then it will be a real life-or-death confrontation.
Outside the Taiji Hall, all the soldiers shouted loudly, the sound shook the sky and could be clearly heard throughout the imperial city.
"King Qi, King Qi wins."
When the sound reached Cining Palace, Queen Chen was kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddhist niche, her cheeks were stained with tears, her eyes were red, and she was muttering, "Thank God, Buddha bless you."
······
"Crunch!"
As the gate of Taiji Hall slowly opened, a group of soldiers in armor rushed into the hall and watched them. The dense pace made many courtiers faint on the spot.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has been at peace for a long time. When did these ministers who were born in the peaceful and prosperous times see such a huge battle?
Qi King Li Nian slowly stepped into the hall surrounded by everyone. At this moment, he was surrounded by a powerful force, leading his troops to crush everyone in the court.
Finally, he stood in front of Li Xian and looked into each other's eyes, saying nothing.
"Brother, I'm here."
At this moment, Li Xian felt relieved. He sighed and said sincerely, "Yes, this day has finally arrived. You and I have been chess pieces for decades, and finally we have someone who can control our own destiny." At this time, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This picturesque country is also made of bones. In this game, no matter who of us wins, the other one can only become a stepping stone."
Li Nian nodded imperceptibly, took out the sword from his waist and threw it at Li Xian's feet, "Brother, commit suicide."
However, Li Xian looked at the sword at his feet, and a smile appeared on his face. When Li Nian saw this smile, an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and he quickly stepped away and distanced himself from him.
"Second brother, do you really think you won?"
As soon as the words fell, the gate of Taiji Hall slammed shut with a loud noise, and most of Qi King Li Nian's troops were blocking the hall.
Then, a series of dark figures emerged in the darkness, and even Li Nian, a saint in martial arts, was unable to spot them.
"Secret guard of Xuanjing Division?"
Looking at these dark figures, Su Ming was slightly startled. The Xuanjing Division he was in charge of was an incomplete Xuanjing Division. Before he took over, many of the elites of the Xuanjing Division were taken away, and the only one among the Great Zhou who could The only person who knew about this was Emperor Shenwu. These people were the elite secret guards who were taken away by Emperor Shenwu. Unexpectedly, after the death of the old emperor, this group of troops actually fell into the hands of the prince.
As expected of the old emperor, he was indeed ruthless. The guards outside the Taiji Palace were treated as abandoned sons by him in order to lure King Qi into the palace and invite you to the urn.
It's a pity that King Qi was more cautious than he imagined. Even when he entered the palace, he was accompanied by hundreds of soldiers and was not alone. Otherwise, he would be a dead man now.
There are not many secret guards in the hall, only fifty people, but all of them are elites, and the evil energy on their bodies seems to be overflowing. A stream of blood energy rushes out from above their heads, winding around, changing the scene, It may become a black sun, or it may be like a black light, or it may be like a sharp blade, or it may be like a big drum.
"Rumble!" The sound of swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes and hooks sounded, and the space was frozen. As soon as these secret guards appeared, they turned into afterimages and killed the soldiers brought in by King Qi.
"ah!"
Screams continued to sound, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Fortunately, the soldiers Li Nian brought in were all the best of the best. They were caught off guard at the beginning and lost dozens of people. Then they quickly formed a battle formation and defended themselves. The attack of the secret guards.
During this period, sword energy and spear blades were everywhere, the smooth floor was crisscrossed with ravines, and the bronze pillars of the hall were covered with scars. From time to time, ministers were affected by the aftermath and died on the spot.
But now that we have reached the most critical moment, who still cares about the death of these ministers?
"As expected of my good big brother, you can really endure it!" Seeing this scene, Li Nian said with gritted teeth.
"It's unclear who will win. Let's wait and see." On the steps, Li Xian stood condescendingly, his eyes cold.
"well said!"
"As long as you die, all problems will be solved!" At this moment, a hint of cruelty flashed in Li Nian's eyes, he picked up the long knife from a corpse and walked towards the throne.
Li Xiantong shrank and retreated quickly, but the secret guards around him were tightly entangled by King Qi's soldiers, unable to escape and unable to protect him.
Seeing Li Nian approaching step by step, Li Xian quickly picked up the sword that Li Nian threw to him to commit suicide on the ground, and held it tightly in his hand. When Li Nian saw Li Xian's poor posture holding the knife, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
Li Xian likes to read. Before he was pulled out by his father to check him, he was a well-known virtuous prince. He loved reading the most and valued literati. He was proficient in poetry and songs and was praised by his father many times.
Compared to his eldest brother, he prefers to practice martial arts. Being in the royal family, he has no shortage of training resources. Once his martial arts reaches the peak, he has reached the realm of a martial arts saint. His blood is like lead and mercury, and is as thick as smoke.
Now, although he was suppressed by the formation in the Tai Chi Hall and his strength was at a loss, if he used force, Li Xian would definitely not be his opponent.
"Brother, let me take you on your way with my own hands!" Li Nian shouted, and slashed out a sword with the long knife in his hand, tearing the air and slashing towards Li Xian.
It was too late, but it was too soon. Li Xianfu reached his heart and fell limply to the ground. He just missed the sword, but the hair crown on his head was chopped off. His thick white hair was scattered on the dragon chair behind him. A very deep knife mark was left on it.
"Come again!" At the moment when the sword was slashed out, Li Xian took an arrow step and stepped forward. The floor beneath his feet was cracked, leaving a half-inch deep footprint, which turned into an afterimage and slashed towards Li Xian.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. An official who was hiding under the steps to avoid the fight between secret guards and soldiers took out a small crossbow from his sleeve and pulled the trigger on Li Nian. The sound of crossbow arrows piercing the air came one after another.
"Thief!"
The sound of piercing the air beside him sounded, and Li Nian secretly screamed that something was wrong. His body shape suddenly changed, and he moved an inch forcefully. The blue-light arrow missed him and missed him again and again. When he stabilized his body, he smoothly held it in his hand. He threw his long sword and nailed the official to the ground.
Li Nian didn't even look at him. He cast his gaze on Li Xian and said coldly, "Brother, you have so many tricks. It's a pity that in the face of absolute strength, conspiracy and calculation are just a joke! Even with bare hands , you are no match for me either!"
In an instant, the energy and blood all over his body circulated slowly, and the blood in his body surged like a great river. The dragon-shaped energy continued to flow in his fists, exuding a soul-penetrating pressure.
"Five dragons open the sky!"
A sonic boom suddenly sounded, and the next moment, an extremely powerful punch, domineering, ferocious, and powerful, instantly transformed into a dragon shape and bombarded Li Xian.
On the other hand, Li Xian was no longer as panicked as before. He held the knife in both hands, his eyes were firm, and he gave the dragon-shaped Qi Jin a hard blow!
"Kacha!"
Under the frontal impact, Li Xian was seriously injured on the spot, his wrist was broken, and the sword forged from various rare ores shattered. The blade turned into fragments and scattered. One of them, by coincidence, was heading towards Li Nian's body. Face door.
However, just when he wanted to escape, he found that he couldn't move. There seemed to be invisible threads around him restricting his movements. No matter how advanced his martial arts skills were, he could not move even a little bit. He could only watch helplessly. The fragments pierced his forehead.
There was a strong sting and blood flowed freely on his face, and his thoughts began to gradually blur, "Who is it?" Until now, how could he not know that someone was secretly behind it?
Between life and death, his consciousness collided violently. He stretched out his fingers to pluck off the fragments between his eyebrows, and used his remaining strength to shoot at Li Xian, "Even if it means death, I will hold you back!"
"puff!"
An astonishing reversal, a last-minute counterattack, Li Xian was caught off guard, and was hit by the fragment in the center. He, who was already seriously injured and on the verge of death, died on the spot and lost his breath.
"Finally, I won!" Seeing this scene, Li Nian squeezed out these words through his teeth. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer. His consciousness collapsed, and his strong body collapsed, following closely behind him.
It seemed like a long time, but it actually happened in a few breaths. The battle between King Qi and the Crown Prince was over before the hidden guards and imperial guards present had time to intervene.
In the main hall, everyone was stunned and in disbelief. Everyone felt as if they were in a dream. The prince and King Qi died like this?
It took a cup of tea for the ministers to react and quickly ran towards Li Xian's body. Li Nian's personal guards also rushed over and snatched his body back.
Now, the two rightful masters are gone, and the secret guards and the imperial guards have quietly separated, and they no longer continue to fight.
"Your Highness!"
"Prince!"
······
On the roof of the Tai Chi Hall, in the void invisible to the naked eye, thunder exploded, and then pale thunder came from the top down, more than a thousand, intersecting with branches like spider webs, thin and dense, and after a moment, a streak of red thunder appeared all over the body. The divine dragon of luck poked its head out, its scales shattered, and it groaned angrily.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Under its claws, a blue divine dragon of luck was struggling continuously. Most of its body had been eaten away. Its four claws were tearing at each other. Under the trapped beast's struggle, it actually tore off the body of the red divine dragon. break.
However, at this moment, the Red Divine Dragon had no time to take care of it, because its target was Su Ming. Under the pull of cause and effect, even if Su Ming just casually interfered with King Qi, the dragon's energy was powerful and had already locked his target.
"Boom!"
As soon as the Dragon Qi moved, Feng Lei followed, ignoring his body-protecting divine light, and broke through the layers of guards, falling into Su Ming's sea of consciousness. The Luck Divine Dragon roared angrily, and when he saw his soul, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Pounced directly towards his soul.
"Dragon energy backfires!"
